# Admins

Secure, Collaborative Account Management

**What Are Admins?**\
The Admins page allows your church to **grant secure, role-based access** to trusted team members for managing your FaithApp account. Share responsibilities like content uploads, event coordination, or donor tracking while maintaining full control over permissions.

**Manage Admin Permissions**

* **Edit**: Update names, emails, or reset passwords as roles evolve.
* **Delete**: Revoke access instantly if team members leave or roles change.

**Why Controlled Access Matters**

* **Security**: Minimize risk by limiting admin privileges to essential users.
* **Collaboration**: Empower staff/volunteers to manage specific tasks (e.g., events, streaming).
* **Audit Trail**: Track changes made by each admin for accountability.

**Best Practices for Admin Management**

* **Use Strong Passwords**: Enforce a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
* **Assign Roles Thoughtfully**: Avoid overloading accounts—grant access only to necessary features.
* **Audit Regularly**: Review active admins quarterly to remove unused accounts.
